Snook,,,,Voice from Texas

Snook,,,I think its great that someone your age is involving themselves in these issues that face our nation. The apathy in your age group is far to prevelant.  However some of your info sounds like talk radio.  I actually live in the state of texas and I can tell you that our state is suffering from 4 yrs of bush administration.  After his cut in funding,,,our education system is now ranked in bottom 20 states for graduating students.  The cost of healthcare in texas is still on the rise even though he passed tort reform,,,,we are still waiting on it.  The city of houston is now ranked #1 in air pollution.  We have Mr Bush to thank for that as he relaxed the pollution control laws.

Another thing I laugh at,,,,the year 2000, he ran as a uniter not a divider.  The country is more partisan then it has ever been before and the same is specially  true in texas.  As for Kerry being a coward...Where was George W Bush in the Vietnam war? Hmmmm Hiding behind Daddy's purse strings??? We still have not seen any records of his air national guard service but we see John Kerry with 2 silver stars, 3 purple hearts and over a year active in combat in Vietnam.  He has been there and seen it and knows what war is and knows it must be used as last alternatives.


Hey,,,just for the record,,,I am not a die hard Democrat but have always looked at both sides and the person that is running.  You might benefit from seeing Farenheit/911 as I also do listen to Rush Limbaugh ever once in awhile...

Sorry, I'll try to be politically correct..
I do not understand your train of thought, but would recommend you looking into a new area of employment, such as criminal justice.. Does that sound any better??

DonL, I know that you have analyzed my posts down to the tee, to come back strong and hit me where I'm weak, but have I been out of line?? I have only responded to direct comments made by others before me, yet I'm the glorifier??All I am trying to do, is get people off their (assets), like derail said, and do something positive that CAN make a difference. It is my reputation that draws the political remarks, and is this not the insult, or the unjust behavior?? Am I not the one being stereotyped, and sent on the defense??I'm trying to do something positive, and again Americans, or ALL people seem to just look for an excuse to get out. It is sad, and almost reason enough to loose faith!!

I totally agree with britgirl on the racism comment. Once someone makes a comment like snook made anything else he says has got to be discounted big time. It's sad to think that people really see the world like that. Mike

My god, I am still trying to understand your logic?? How is camel riding extremist an insult. Is this not just a honest observation?? Is it derogatory in any way?? Are their any middle easterners out there that are insulted?? Am I not called political stereotypes here?? Are we not all labeled some how?? Man, I will have to the NAACP to fight for me, as I do not want to be called a HCV sufferer anymore, it is a violation of my civil rights!! Damn man, get real!!! Again, look at all of your perpectives, everything that I post is bombarded with political rants, from everyone, and YOU ALL loose focus. I am not glorifing Bush, or pushing for his reelection, all of you bring those things up, and I am on the defense. There has to be another perspective for every situation. It just goes to show, how Americans, HAVE closed their eyes, and given up, to overlook the facts, and focus on excuses!!
Only a few actually go out to the polls and vote. Now most are the upper class, and wealthy, as it is in their best interest to have someone in office to protect their wealth. Now is that not who the politicians lobby for, as they are the ones voting, and the ones they have to answer for?? If ALL Americans got out and voted, politicans would be petrified, as now they would have to listen, and be accountable for all Americans. Quite sitting in the bleachers, waiting for the perfect opportunity, as the time is now, and we must not let it go by!!
It is election time, and now is when citizens are heard!! Voice yourself now, and politicans will address the concerns as they are looking for reelection..Again, nobody reads my posts, just overlooks the meaning and rambles about politics amd Bush!! Stop overlooking the inevitable, face reality today, and stop blaming it on politics!!! Britgirl, I have absolutely no idea, where you get your logic?? Please, stop watching propaganda movies lik F 9/11, and wake up!! People are dying, and you focus on excuses?? You would make an excellent defense attorney for murderers..

So you did join this rant. A few months ago i got blasted left righ and centre for pointing out the amount of$ pouring into Africa and the middle East in the form of F18s F16ss Cruise missiles and now more than 10000 Iraquis dead. Parts of Africa starve hiv is rampant and bush didn't go to Vietnam? Is that the it politics. In the UK we joined you and now find that our own gvmnt twisted the truth and we are stuck there to. There is no was against terroism ask Sharon. I no nothing about purple hearts etc is that how you measure policy. This war /or walkover has split Europe to will we ever fogive the French. Nothing is gonna shift until an American with the brains guts and determination toresolve the Israli and Palastinian terrorism ends. And maybe challange the silent deaths of hiv tb hcv mrsa and all the new virusis bacteria plus poverty.
